Just a simple chive flower , we might think… but it’s intricate and beautiful and efficient, and feeds the pollinators, especially the bees. Nothing humble about it! . #chiveflower #chives #pollinatorplants #bees #gardening

The BBC haven’t given Farage a hard interview to explain himself . Funny that.

What a disgusting snivelling lickspittle Nick Robinson shows himself to be in this biasef ‘interview’ that he freely writes he went in to with usual @BBC bias. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Keir Starmer told me he'd met every challenge. But things look bad right now - very bad
Nick Robinson sits down with the prime minister to look back at his first year in Downing Street.

Nigel Farage said he’d ‘bought a house’ in Clacton – it’s actually owned by his girlfriend
Reform UK leader said he’d ‘exchanged contracts’ to buy property last November, but it’s in name of Laure Ferrari

Today, I pay tribute to Miss Alexandra Colquhoun and Miss Nicola Fearnhead; inspiring and skilful surgeons at Addenbrookes Hospital Cambridge, who led the huge team that saved my life 3rd Sep 2024 in a complex 15.5 hr op. Even on the more difficult days of recovery, I remain so grateful 🙏🏼 #IWD2025

This little boy goes to school I support in Ethiopia. He reads books bought with foreign aid money. The school will really feel the government’s aid cut. Annaliese Dodds recognises this.

Ethiopia: Trump's executive order freezing USAid funding for 90 days has disrupted vital aid in Ethiopia, affecting food shipments, medical deliveries, and support for HIV patients and sexual violence survivors.
An image showing the amount of donations to Ethiopia by country. The US government covered more than half of the humanitarian aid that went to Ethiopia.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it We cannot allow them to rewrite history. If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely youtu.be/MUrf7addcTA?...

NO Nigel Farage - the vaccine rollout was not helped by Brexit

Yesterday, I had an appointment with obe of the surgeons who saved my life after radical surgery last September to remove aggressive cancer. She told me that my kidneys are functioning well, and that there is no trace of recurrence in my pelvis. Thank you Addenbrookes Hospital, and thank you NHS.

This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen The survey actually found that over two thirds of voters *do not* think Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year.

A few potential words of the day: Joblijock: a disturber of domestic peace (small children, cantankerous uncles, etc). Yule-hole: the furthest notch in your belt that you need to resort to at Christmas. Confelicity: joy in other people’s happiness. Merry Christmas.

This little crib scene , made of hard plastic is a precious reminder from my childhood and is on display every year. It must be over 60 years old and like me, it is a bit worn and battered around the edges, but still it survives from year to year - Merry Christmas 🎄!
